After learning a great deal about proper aquarium/fish care on this site I now feed my fish a varied diet, they get regular water changes, treated water, a habitat that attempts to keep them feeling secure, a regular day/night schedule….

So I go to the doctor about a month ago and find I have high blood pressure, high cholesterol, need more exercise…

So my question is do you take better care of your fish then you do yourself? I seem to be doing that. 
 
yep. right now I am sitting on my butt reading posts on a fish forum. i have also suddenly developed a nasty habit of eating in front of the computer. not good because i'm getting food on my keyboard.
 
take care of myself? when should i do that between cleaning up after the kids,dogs cat, fish? lol yeah i am guilty of that my pets have a pretty good life...they even eat better tahn me ...and mcdonalds they get to eat out more than me...lol
 
"Do you take better care of your fish then yourself?"

Most probably...
 
i will have to admit that my pets come first. between my 3 dogs, 3 cats, 2 turtles and multiple fish tanks and a full time job, i dont have time for myself!
my dogs and cats have been to the vet more often than i have gone to my own doctor.
i care more about what they eat than what i eat. i pay attention to their diet to make sure they get all the nutrition and vitamins they need to stay healthy. whereas i'm prone to just pick up a burger on the way home work.
:dog:
 
I don't know about my fish, but I can say for certain that my Labrador is better taken care of than I am. We get up at 6:00 and go run basic obedience/light retrieving drills until about 7:00 when I take a shower, pound some coffee and go to work. When I get home, we walk to the beach where he works on more advanced retrieving, land-over-water retrieves, vigorous swimming, etc. etc. He's just about solid muscle. He eats well, gets adequate sleep, excersizes twice a day, receives one-on-one training time, etc. etc. On the other hand, I don't eat well, sleep about 5 hours a night, don't get enough exercize etc. etc.
 
Fish and kitties come first (usually in that order at dinner time much too Poo's dismay!) Even my friends have been complaining that I spend too much time futzing with my tanks and not enough time with them lately. LOL
 
Uh, yea.... I'm with JudgeMax. Between my 2 year old, my 4 year old, my 2.5 year old Godson that I watch all week, the Dingo (<---), 2 tanks (soon to be 3) the laundry, the dishes, the housework, the shopping...... I'm lucky if I get both legs shaved every week! LOL! ;)

And truth be told, I'd LOVE to have a hairless Guinea Pig, a parakeet pair and an iguana for that empty 135g sitting in my garage, but my husband is drawing the line... If I had all of that, I wouldn't have time for HIM anymore! :Angel:
 
I dunno, I take pretty good care of myself. This body's a temple ;)

Ultimate practices and/or games 4-5 times per week plus the occasional weekend long tournament. Mornings training. I don't eat great, but I don't eat terribly. But of course there's always the occasional workout for the liver as well ;)

I definitely clean my tanks more often than my apartment though.
